Obtaining sequences from lists of lists

Can anyone help me with this problem. 

If I have an n-element list, (say where each element is itself a
list), such as {{a,b}, {a,b}, {a,b}}
is there a way to strip off the outermost nesting of the list to
obtain just a sequence of of these n elements, that is
{a,b},{a,b},{a,b} so that I can use this for input for some function.

I would like to do something like
Outer[SomeFunction, Table[{a,b},{N} ]] where I can enter N
dynamically.
The problem, of course, is that the output of the Table command is one
big list
and Outer is expecting a sequence of N separate lists after
SomeFunction.
 
Thanks for your help in advance.
